<h2><b>set clip</b></h2>
<p>
<code>set clip <i>xlo xhi ylo yhi</i> </code>

<p>
This command sets the coordinates for clipping the plot area for
display and draw commands. The four arguments <code><i>xlo, xhi, ylo,
yhi</i></code> are the clipping coordinates in real page inches.

<p>
<h3>Usage Notes</h3>
<ol>
<li>The default clipping region is the area specified by the
<a href="gradcomdsetparea.html"><code>set parea</code></a> command. 
<code>set clip</code> overrides this default. 
<p>
<li>Every time a <a
href="gradcomddisplay.html"><code>display</code></a> command is
executed, GrADS sets the clipping area to the region specified by <a
href="gradcomdsetparea.html"><code>set parea</code></a> or <code>set
clip</code>, draws the graphic, then resets the clipping region to the
entire page.
<p>
<li>
The clipping region is reset to the default by entering <a
href="gradcomdclear.html"><code>clear</code></a> or <a
href="gradcomddisplay.html"><code>display</code></a>.
</ol>
